Deion Sanders reveals he is not happy with CBS, also trolls Pittsburgh coach at news event

On the day he turned 57 years old, Deion Sanders apparently had some scores to settle about the past.

One was with the media company CBS, though it’s not clear what his beef is with them.

Another was with Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi, whom Sanders appeared to troll Friday after Narduzzi criticized Sanders’ roster strategy last year.

“I’m here in Denver, not national,” the reporter said.

“You are who you are,” Sanders said. “CBS is CBS.”

Sanders then told the reporter he respects him but has an issue with the larger CBS organization.

“I got love for you, but what they did was foul,” Sanders said.

Or was he mixing up CBS with another news media outlet that published a story he disputed?

A university spokesman said he didn’t know what Sanders’ issue with CBS is. The Denver CBS affiliate and CBS Sports also didn’t immediately return messages seeking comment.
